Since Chairman Chiang issued a statement on the War of Resistance Against Japan, it has greatly inspired military and civilians to fight against Japan. For a time, the enthusiasm of military and people in the country to fight against Japan has become popular. Countless passionate young people have joined the army and served the country, and entrepreneurs and businessmen have generously donated money and materials to fight against Japan.

Although the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out as Qiao Anbang expected, due to geographical relations, the news did not reach Zhiheji until Chairman Jiang issued the Lushan Anti-Japanese War statement.

Although Qiao Anbang had known it for a long time, he did not tell the officers and soldiers in advance, otherwise it would cause questions from the officers and soldiers. Anyway, the current strength of the security team is not enough to change the current situation in China and cannot stop the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, what Qiao Anbang can do is to expand his strength as much as possible before the Japanese army attacked Nanjing City and increase his strength to turn the tide and change the historical tragedy.

However, since the news has been heard, Qiao Anbang must also act.

The news of the July 7 Incident can arouse great reactions from the people in big cities, but in a remote small town like Ji, it has not attracted much attention from the people.

Ordinary people just know that they are going to fight with the Japanese and do not have a sense of national crisis. It is not their fault. China has been in civil war for years, and the people have long been numb to the news of the war. No matter who fights with whom, it is all war anyway.

The passionate young men in the city had already joined the security team, so the atmosphere in the Longshan military camp was much more intense than that in the Zhi and Jicheng.

Many passionate young officers and soldiers learned that the July 7 Incident broke out and were filled with righteous indignation, and they asked Qiao Anbang to go north to fight against Japan.

In view of this situation, Qiao Anbang gathered the entire regiment, and he had to appease the emotions of the officers and soldiers. Secondly, it was time to replace the weapons and equipment for the entire regiment.

Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo walked out of the regiment headquarters together, and the playground in the barracks was already full of security regiment soldiers with full armed spirits.

The soldiers all thought that the war was about to begin, so they quickly gathered together.

Qiao Anbang strode to the team, inspected the officers and soldiers present one by one, and then said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I believe you all know about the Lugou Bridge Incident. The Japanese devils invaded our country and wanted to destroy our country and destroy our Chinese race. Chairman Jiang has expressed his opinion that he will lead the military and civilians across the country to fight to the death, sacrifice all resistance to the end, and be a slave to the destruction of the country!"

"I will not be a slave to the destruction of the country when I die! Defeat Japanese imperialism!"

"I will not be a slave to the destruction of the country when I die! Defeat Japanese imperialism!" The officers and soldiers of the regiment followed indignantly and roared in unison.

"Cluster, deputy, you guys should hurry up and take your brothers out. Let's go north to fight the Japanese and drive them out." Wang Dingsheng took the lead with an excited expression.

"Yes! We are going to fight the Japanese and drive the Japanese out of China!" Under the leadership of some passionate soldiers, the officers and soldiers followed suit and agreed.

"Silent!" Qiao Anbang waved his hands and said, "Brothers, I understand your current mood. The country is in danger. Why don't I, Qiao Anbang, want to take you to the front line to kill the Japanese and serve the country, but as soldiers, we must obey orders and obey the command. We have not received the orders from the top yet, so we cannot start for the time being."

"In addition, our country has a long coastline and the Japanese army has a strong navy. In order to support the northern battlefield, the Japanese are likely to land and fight in the southeast coastal areas of our country. If there is a war in the south, we don't have to travel north and go south to join the war and serve the country!" This sentence was said by Qiao Anguo, and these were of course what Qiao Anbang told him in advance, otherwise how could he expect the Japanese army to open up the southern battlefield.

After a pause, Qiao Anguo continued: "However, I will report my brothers' urgent aspirations to serve the country together and request the top to approve us to join the war. I hope everyone will strengthen their training and prepare for war. Once the order is reached, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment will set off immediately."

"Yes! Resolutely obey the order!" Wang Dingsheng and other officers and soldiers responded one after another.

"For the sake of future wars, the regiment headquarters decided to replace a batch of new weapons and equipment for everyone." Wang Gensheng behind Qiao Anbang was speaking quickly sent a new rifle.

Qiao Anbang took the rifle, turned on the insurance, aimed at the woods about two hundred meters and pulled the trigger continuously: "Bang bang bang..." The crisp gunshots rang eight times in a row.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers were confused. What kind of gun is this? It doesn't need to pull the bolt to shoot, and it's still shooting continuously.

After Qiao Anbang finished firing the bullets, he looked at the officers and soldiers with satisfaction and said, "This is an American rifle, called the m1 Garland rifle, and it is a semi-automatic rifle. Compared to the bolt-pull rifle in your hands, it is a bit like what you just saw. This gun does not require a single shot and a bolt, and can be continuously fired until the bullet in the chamber is shot.

This rifle has a higher firing rate than a manual rifle. With this rifle, you can completely suppress your opponents in the battlefield in the future."

Before Qiao Anbang finished speaking, the officers and soldiers were in a commotion, "That's great, I like this gun..."

"Yes, this gun is really good, don't need to shoot it, haha..."

"Second post, can I try it?" Wang Dingsheng also said curiously.

"Yes, I'll issue it right away. All of you can have a semi-automatic rifle, but with new equipment, everyone must train hard, understand?" Qiao Anbang nodded first, and then pretended to be majestic.

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers agreed again.

Then Qiao Anbang showed the Chicago typewriter (Thompson submachine gun) to all the officers and soldiers of the regiment to replace the German MP18 submachine gun. The reason for choosing Thompson was that Thompson had strong firepower and had many options for supplying bullets. 20 and 30 round magazines or 50 and 100 round drums were used.

It can be imagined that once Thompson is equipped with 50 or 100 rounds of drums, the power of a Thompson in melee combat is enough to suppress the Japanese three crooked machine guns. What a terrifying power this will be, and it will be a nightmare for the Japanese.

Although Thompson's structure is complex and expensive, Qiao Anbang doesn't have to care about these things at all. With the aircraft, all weapons and ammunition are free.

After the soldiers of the reconnaissance company tried Thompson, they all cheered and encouraged. For soldiers, advanced and sophisticated weapons are their favorites, and some people love guns even more than their lives.

In addition to infantry weapons and artillery, Qiao Anbang chose the American 105mm howitzer, which has great power and long range (about 11 kilometers, comparable to the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery.) is enough to suppress all the Japanese army's army's army's army's army's army's army except for 15mm0 cannons and heavy artillery.

Like the Japanese Army's Type 92 infantry cannon, the range is less than 4 kilometers, and it does not pose any threat to the 105 howitzer.

In terms of anti-tank weapons, Qiao Anbang equipped the regiment's direct artillery battalion with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which can not only prevent air and deal with thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese.

When the artillery battalion commander Wang Shuanzhu saw the huge 105 howitzer, he couldn't stop smiling, and he almost went to sleep with the cannon tube in his arms.

At this point, the security team's personnel and equipment are prepared as follows:

The entire regiment has three infantry battalions. In addition to adding small-caliber mortars and grenade launchers, the grassroots units still have the same organization (see Chapter 26 Training for details). One artillery battalion, one guard company, one reconnaissance company and one communication company. In addition, there are non-combat troops such as health teams and baggage teams.

The battalion commander of the first infantry battalion, the battalion commander of the second infantry battalion Cao Er, and the battalion commander of the third infantry battalion Li Yifeng (extraordinary promotion) Deputy battalion commander Li Jupeng also serves as the company commander of the first company of the third battalion.

Wang Gensheng, the company commander of the regiment’s direct security company, Zhang Xudong, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, and a small accident occurred in the communication company. Since no one knows how to operate the radio, Qiao Anbang was forced to appoint Yali as the company commander of the communication company.

The battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Wang Shuanzhu, has a total of three howitzers and an air defense company. Each of the howitzers is equipped with ten howitzers, and the air defense company is equipped with thirteen anti-aircraft machine guns and seven anti-aircraft guns.

In order to strengthen the anti-tank tank capabilities of the company-level combat units, Qiao Anbang also equipped each company and platoon with a batch of 37mm war defense artillery to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles during combat.

After the entire regiment changed into clothes, the officers and soldiers were immersed in the joy of obtaining new weapons and equipment, and their morale was high, and then they continued to join the hot training.

Qiao Anbang was watching the officers and soldiers conduct shooting training. At this moment, Yali, the company commander of the communication company, jogged all the way.

As soon as he arrived next to Qiao Anbang, he stood attentively and reported: "Cluster, Chief Chu Jingming, is here."

Qiao Anbang turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that the tall breasts on Yali's chest were constantly rising and falling with rapid breathing, which was very tempting. Qiao Anbang swallowed secretly and calmly said, "Brother is here? Where?"

"Old Master Qiao has taken him home." Yali replied with panting.

"Oh, Company Commander Liu, please go back with me." Qiao Anbang looked at the heroic and sassy Yali, wearing her originally simple military uniform, immediately became very pleasing to the eye, and felt quite tempting to be in a uniform.

"Yes!" Yali was naturally very obedient to Qiao Anbang's order and responded immediately. Then she followed Qiao Anbang to get on a military jeep. The jeep then drove out of the military camp like an arrow from Li Xuan and headed straight for Zhiheji.

Wang Gensheng hurriedly followed with a guard squad and drove a motorcycle.
